#5 His talent made people watch TNA over other promotions at times

AJ Styles TNA Champion

AJ Styles merits all the credit on the planet for helping divert TNA from independent promotion into North America's second in charge behind WWE. Between 2002-13, AJ substantiated himself as a conspicuous in-ring wrestler, transformed the X-Division into one of wrestling's most energizing popular expressions and turned into a genuine homegrown star for the organization.

Post-WCW, WWE had the opportunity to sign him full-time. Rather, they offered him a little time formative arrangement. Styles turned it down, just wrestling a few dull matches and on 'C' level programming like Metal.

#2 He was already famous before joining WWE

Bullet Club leader

Before making all necessary endorsements in mid-2016, Styles was cherishing life as the leader of the Bullet Club in New Japan Pro Wrestling. Large and in charge as IWGP Heavyweight Champion and having rankling fights with everybody from Kazuchika Okada to Shinsuke Nakamura, AJ had discovered his calling.

Possibly his decision to wrestle for WWE has more to do with age and the fact that he just wanted latter part of his years in the biggest wrestling promotion of the world. The same reason Rey Mysterio is coming back.

#3 AJ Styles Royal Rumble debut focused on Reigns

Well, atleast a he lasted a good 30 minutes

I see why WWE has been repeatedly doing this with all the great wrestlers they have been signing over the past few years. When AJ Styles debuted in the 2013 Royal Rumble, all cameras shifted not on AJ Styles making an entry into the ring but on Roman's reaction about this soon to be Big Dog.

Quite the reason why AJ Styles did not make it big in the first few months. I am happy the brand split has kept them away.

#4 Oh! The US Title loss

US Title match

WWE's choice to have AJ Styles topple Kevin Owens and turn into the new United States Champion in the sacred lobbies of Madison Square Garden on 7 July 2017 was wonderful. It was a stunning result on a striking house show, and it added zest to a fight that required something additional.

Things thundered along (with AJ losing the title at that point recovering it at Battleground and on SmackDown individually) before Styles proceeded onward from the feud to move to a new storyline to defend the Title belt. By Hell in a Cell that October, he required some new adversaries for the belt. WWE picked the most exceedingly bad ones conceivable.

Baron Corbin and Tye Dillinger.

AJ Styles lost the match when Corbin pinned Dillinger and Style's reign did not see a future after that. WWE has already missed their chance to revitalise the belt.

#5 Styles' win-loss record against James Ellsworth

3-1 really?

AJ Styles only lost one match against John Cena in the three Pay-Per-Views that he headlined with the WWE legend. But let's talk about James Ellsworth, a jobber at best who has his name in history books for having a better win-loss record against James Ellsworth at least for records.

First loss because Dean Ambrose was the special guest referee, second via disqualification and third in a Ladder match due to interference from The Lunatic Fringe. But, hey, records are records.
